In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was gathering with Zhu Yunwen and the ministers and lords, and he did a bad thing last night, but at the moment he was wearing a bright official uniform, as if he was fine, Xiao Fan was also among the people, and the ministers congratulated Zhu Yuanzhang on marrying his granddaughter, which was a kind of grace to the ministers, etc., and for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang was slapping his beard and laughing, and his originally serious and sharp eyes were full of joy at the moment.

The joy of life is to see your children and grandchildren get married, marry, marry, and the heirs of the Zhu family will last for thousands of years.

"Zhuqing, now it is said that my eldest granddaughter is married to the son of the Marquis of Changxing, this is a happy event for you and my monarchs and ministers, when you are young, you can go to the Changxing Marquis Mansion to drink, I will also go to the family, hehe, the monarch and the ministers are happy, it can be a good story for the ages......"

Zhu Yuanzhang was talking happily, when suddenly a eunuch ran into the hall in a panic, and then knelt down in front of the dragon case, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Geng Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Changxing, was attacked in the mansion last night, and was seriously injured and couldn't get married......."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in a daze for a while, and didn't react for a long time, "Geng...... Geng Xuan? ”

The eunuch lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, Geng Xuan, the son of the Marquis of Changxing, that is, the guest of honor of His Royal Highness the Lord of Jiangdu, Geng Xuan." ”

When the ministers heard the rumors, they exploded the pot, and they all looked at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground with shocked faces, Xiao Fan was more shocked than everyone else.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back to his senses, banged, and got up.

"Geng Xuan was beaten? Who? Who did this to you? Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

The eunuch lay on the ground and trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't know ......."

Zhu Yunwen on the side was also surprised when she heard the news, the imperial sister didn't want to marry Geng Xuan, and Geng Xuan was seriously injured the day before he got married, which ...... It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

Zhu Yunwen's first reaction was to immediately raise his eyes to look at Xiao Fan, but he saw Xiao Fan standing in the midst of the ministers with a shocked expression, and then his shocked expression gradually turned into indignation, annoyance, and faintly a kind of awe-inspiring righteousness that was sacred and inviolable...... Zhu Yunwen looked at him suspiciously for a long time, becoming more and more unsure whether this matter had anything to do with Xiao Fan, if it did, this guy acted too realistically...... At this moment when Zhu Yunwen observed Xiao Fan, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the dignified Marquis Mansion was infiltrated by gangsters, and the son of the Marquis of Changxing was seriously injured, hum! Ying Tianfu, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Jinyiwei! Are you all rice buckets? ”

The ministers were startled, and hurriedly knelt down together and said, "The ministers are guilty." ”

The original harmonious and jubilant hall suddenly seemed to be blown by a yin wind, and the peace was gone, and the clouds suddenly appeared.

In the quiet hall, a very abrupt voice sounded.

"It's too much! It's crazy! It's outrageous! Such a vicious scoundrel should be killed! It's time to chop! ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all turned their heads to look, but they saw Xiao Fan, the fellow of Jinyi Wei and the attendant of the East Palace, with an angry face, standing in the hall with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, raising his arms and shouting with a sad and angry expression.

The correct thing to do in officialdom is that what the king likes, what the minister likes, what the king is angry, and what the minister is angry about.

Although Xiao Fan didn't say a word of sycophancy, his attitude was very timely and his strength was in place, and when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Fan, his expression was obviously much more relaxed.

At this time, regardless of whether Xiao Fan annihilated the party or not, he had to bow down and say in unison: "The ministers seconded what Lord Xiao said. ”

Xiao Fan knelt on the ground and bowed, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, there is such a bad incident in the Imperial City of Beijing, it is really outrageous, please ask Your Majesty to investigate it strictly and thoroughly, so as to correct my Ming law and discipline!" ”

"The ministers seconded the motion—"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little strange in anger, what happened to Xiao Fan today? Ping said that he was stuck in the minister's pile and died silently, but now Geng Xuan was injured, he jumped out faster than anyone else, and shouted fiercer than anyone else, this person usually ...... It's not like a jealous person.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch, "How is Geng Xuan's injury?" ”

"Your Majesty, the perpetrator is very vicious, Geng Xuan's hands and feet are broken, and he is covered with scars, after Lang Zhong saw it, he asserted that he would have to recuperate for at least three or five months before he could go to the ground......"

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped: "So ruthless? How much hatred does the murderer have with Geng Xuan? It's just lawless! ”

As he was talking, another eunuch knelt outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, knelt down outside the noon gate, crying and begging Your Majesty to make the decision for him and severely punish the murderer who injured his son." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his forehead with a groan, sighed and said: "Decree, the marriage between the county lord of Jiangdu and Geng Xuan is suspended, and the Marquis of Changxing, Geng Bingwen, will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold and three hundred pieces of cloth to show comfort." Xiao Fan. ”

Xiao Fan hurriedly stepped out with an arrow step, knelt down and said, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him and said viciously: "Order the Jinyi Wei Ti to ride out in all directions, and find out this murderer for me!" No matter who it is or who is behind it, they will all be taken to prison and dealt with severely! I'm going to cut him a thousand times, ten thousand dollars! ”

"Minister...... Obey! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finished giving the order, then snorted angrily, and said to the eunuch: "Set up the noon gate, I will personally appease the Marquis of Changxing, alas! ”

With a long sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily.

The ministers also followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang, rushing out and hugging Zhu Yuanzhang towards the noon gate.

Xiao Fan knelt in the hall, watching Zhu Yuanzhang gradually move away, and still loudly expressed his loyalty: "The minister will definitely catch the murderer, avenge the Marquis of Changxing, dissipate his anger for His Majesty, correct the law for the Ming Dynasty, and ......"

"Xiao Shi read, Xiao Shi read...... Hehe, it's over, it's over. Zhu Yunwen stood behind Xiao Fan, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Xiao Fan looked back in amazement, "What's over?" ”

"Your acting skills, it's over." Zhu Yunwen smiled like a deceitful little fox, and there was a sense of realization in his dark eyes.

"What is Your Highness talking about? Minister...... Do not understand. Xiao Fan blinked and pretended to be confused.

Zhu Yunwen said leisurely: "Don't you know that 'too much'? ”

"The minister only knows the oily meat, but he doesn't know what it means to be too much......"

Zhu Yunwen pushed him dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Pretend!" You go on! A few days ago, I went to your house to beg you, but you were still pushing back and being pretentious, but I didn't expect you to do Geng Xuan without saying a word, saying! …… Why don't you call me for such a fun thing? ”

Xiao Fan was full of excitement, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, your ...... Wronged—"

"It's boring to pretend again, if you don't admit it, I'll shout all over the street......"

Xiao Fan was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth and said angrily: "You want to kill me?" Can you talk nonsense about this? I didn't see His Majesty so angry just now......"

Zhu Yunwen was covered with his mouth, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Did you really do this?" Zhu Yunwen asked excitedly.

Xiao Fan hung his head and said, "You can see it, can I deny it?" ”

"Then you were still pretending to be so righteous and awe-inspiring just now, shouting for some kind of severe punishment for the murderer......"

Xiao Fan sighed and said: "That's not impossible, I'm always stuck in the crowd and silent, others still think I did it......"

"What do you mean by 'thinking' that you did it? You did it! Zhu Yunwen pouted shamelessly.

"Then you have to pretend even more...... Your Royal Highness, in fact, I am also bitter, you say that I am a good idol, I have to show the strength of the acting school, who did I recruit to provoke whom? It's not all for your imperial sister, it's not enough to be insulted by her, and I, the victim, have to clean up the mess for her, I ...... I'm actually more wronged than anyone else......"

As Xiao Fan spoke, his eyes couldn't help but redden.

Zhu Yunwen patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and muttered, "Xiao Shiyu, you seem to be really wronged......

"What a look! Simply that! ”

Zhu Yunwen sneered, and then said worriedly: "But...... You can't solve a big problem just by beating Geng Xuan, if after three or five months, his injury is healed, don't you have to marry my imperial sister? What then? ”

Xiao Fan sniffled and said without raising his head: "It's too simple, just beat him again......"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan dumbfounded, nodded for a while, and said seriously: "I found ...... In fact, you are not the most wronged, Geng Xuan is more wronged than you......"

"It seems that it is indeed ......," Xiao Fan thoughtfully said.

"What a look! Simply that! ”

patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder, Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Next time there is such a fun thing, you must inform me first, you are happy alone, I am not happy yet." ”

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and ignored him.

The future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ping, Lizi and Shiyun are very happy, why is he so violent in his bones? What a good one, His Royal Highness, he has fallen! If you become a tyrant in the future, who is responsible? - Huang Zicheng, of course it is his responsibility!

Xiao Fan, who returned home, was received by Xiao Thrush's heroic reception, Xiao Fan could clearly see the little stars shining in the thrush's eyes, and the kind of adoring and enthusiastic gaze intoxicated him, it seemed that the matter of saving the county lord of Jiangdu from the sea of suffering was quite rewarding, at least in the thrush's heart, Xiao Fan's righteous image was infinitely higher again.

Of course, the contemptuous look of the Taixu Lao Dao on the side who rolled his eyes violently was automatically ignored by Xiao Fan.

- Climbing over a fence and falling into a pit, he should be the most despised person.

In the twilight of spring, the peach forest is full of flowers, the pink petals are blown by the breeze, slowly falling to the ground, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, there is a kind of charming taste, as pleasant as first love.

Xiao Fan sat on a bamboo bench in the peach forest, the bench was given by the Ministry of War, Shangshu Ru Yu, made of authentic Xiangfei bamboo, a small five-grade brocade cloth and Wei Tongzhi, can be given a gift by a second-grade Shangshu, there are really a lot of absurd things in the officialdom.

Power is indeed a good thing, it has nothing to do with grade, the comings and goings in officialdom are nothing more than the relationship between the system and the controlled, a Shangshu grade is high enough, power is big enough, but in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, he is nothing.

Ru Yu has been in Jinyiwei Prison, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's hint and Xiao Fan's release, I'm afraid this life has come to an end, not only him, but even his whole family has come to an end, and he can come out alive after entering Jinyiwei Prison, it is really an outlier, Ru Yu knows the power and horror of Jinyiwei, so he also has a grateful heart for Xiao Fan,—— of course, the most important thing is fear.

Xiao Fan leaned his head on the bench and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was in the cradle of power, sometimes more tragic than the battlefield, sometimes softer than a woman's embrace, no wonder so many people have spent their lives running for the future of the official position, power is indeed worth running.

His eyes were closed, but Xiao Fan's mind was still running rapidly.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to arrest the murderer who injured Geng Xuan, how could this murderer be arrested? Xiao Fan was embarrassed, just now in Wuying Palace, he performed a thief shouting to catch a thief, shouting is shouting, he has to hand over someone to give Lao Zhu an errand, although Lao Zhu is old, he is not so easy to fool.

In fact, the closest way to the truth is that Xiao Fan personally ran into the Jinyi Wei Yamen to surrender, and then was sent to the edict prison by a group of Jinyi Wei colleagues...... Xiao Fan's brain is not sick, of course he will not consider doing this, sometimes the truth is very unlikable when it is made public, it is better to be false, a group of harmony, everyone is happy.

Or...... Hand over the void?

The old guy has lived for more than a hundred years, and he must not have entered the edict of Jinyiwei, and he has to experience everything in life, otherwise he will be left with regrets when he dies in the future, how bad it is, well, I am afraid that he will enter the edict and confess his accomplices, then it will not be beautiful, so forget it.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Fan had a little headache when he thought about it, patted the armrest of the bamboo chair, stood up and gritted his teeth, and simply called a few people to discuss, let's see who is the most annoying in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and who is the mastermind behind the beating of Geng Xuan, as for the evidence...... Jin Yiwei Tongzhi said that if there is evidence, then there is evidence, and if there is not, there must be it.

"Someone, take my name and invite a few people to come to the house...... Meeting! ”

Xiao Fan invited all the ministers who were more friendly to him in the DPRK, well, old acquaintances, and everyone also has a general term that you can understand as soon as you hear it,—— "annihilation of the party".

The fastest is Hanlin bachelor Xie Jin, this guy can be described as loving and hating Xiao Fan, it feels very complicated, it stands to reason that the person who has been beaten by Xiao Fan n times, either fights with him with a knife, or runs far away, and can't afford to hide, but Xie Jin's performance fully illustrates the broadness and tolerance of the Confucian mind, he is afraid of Xiao Fan, but he doesn't mind getting close to Xiao Fan, every time Xiao Fan is called, he will definitely appear quickly, and then look afraid and squeeze out a flattering smile, like laughing is more like crying, Xiao Fan is very entangled.

However, Xiao Fan is still very satisfied with Xie Jin's performance, he feels that Xie has the potential to become a little sufferer, and it is estimated that he is also the kind of character who likes to be dripping wax and being whipped when he has sex with his wife, he behaves very well-behaved and supple in front of Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan's evaluation of him is: his attitude is very good, and his position is not firm.

In his previous life, when the eight-year Anti-Japanese War was aside, Master Xie was definitely the vanguard of the Han annihilation team.

The next to come to the door were Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, Qi Tai, the left attendant of the military department, Yu Xin, the secretary of the household department, and several officials of the household department.

Seven or eight colleagues from the DPRK and China came before and after, Xiao Fan was very happy, he didn't expect that his face was so big, and the name post for them was originally just a temptation, but he didn't expect that none of them would come.

This is Xiao Fan underestimating his current power in the court, although he is now just a small Jinyiwei Tongzhi, in terms of rank, anyone here is bigger than him, but Xiao Fan's position, and his position in the court is too special, Jinyiwei is a private institution directly under the emperor, not to mention the power of life and death of ministers, Xiao Fan is deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and concurrently serves as an attendant in the East Palace, and has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, this relationship is enough to make all ministers awe of him.

From ancient times to the present, ministers who can be appreciated by two generations of emperors at the same time are simply rare, such people are destined to soar into the sky, in the future, Emperor Hongwu will go west, and the new emperor will ascend the throne, it is foreseeable that Xiao Fan's power will be greater, such a potential stock with high limit qualifications, who must not take advantage of it?

This is also the reason why when they fought with Huang Zicheng and other Qingliu courts, these ministers dared to oppose Qingliu and openly supported Xiao Fan. The people who are mixed in the court are not fools, and they have long seen Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with the Qingliu minister, and if they continue to fight with the Qingliu faction, the future will inevitably be bleak.

In the flower hall on the left side of the front yard of Xiao Mansion, a good banquet has already been placed, and everyone gathered together and greeted politely.

Why invite them to come? Xiao Fan naturally has a plan, since everyone has been branded as "annihilating the party", of course we have to contact each other to feel emotional, the so-called "party" word, of course one person can't become a party, everyone will work together to form a faction, and they will play a greater role.

When Xiao Fan walked into the flower hall with a smile on his face, the ministers hurriedly got up and bowed their hands to Xiao Fan, everyone's face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze, whether this smile was true or not, at least it showed that Xiao Fan had this face and strength, so they had to laugh.

After politely greeting the annihilators for a while, Xiao Fan sat in the main seat of the banquet half-pushed and half-pushed, and Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, and Yu Xinxi, the secretary of the household department, accompanied the side seats.

Xiao Fan's attitude was very humble, he filled the pot with wine for everyone, and then saluted for a week, and said a few kind words such as welcome, the guests and hosts were happy, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became more and more peaceful and jubilant.

After another tedious politeness, everyone unconsciously stopped their chopsticks, and then looked at Xiao Fan with blank eyes.

Of course, they didn't think that this Lord Xiao was idle and had nothing to do to call them over, and they would leave after a few drinks and a few glasses of wine, and the people in the officialdom would have a purpose in saying and doing everything, and it was impossible to be targeted, so everyone stopped and waited for Xiao Fan to get to the point.

Xiao Fan also stopped his cup, slowly looked around, coughed twice, and then began to say the opening remarks.

"Spring Shines ......"

"Ah, yes, yes, the spring is indeed pleasant and bright, Lord Xiao is insightful." The ministers chimed in.

Xiao Fan ignored them and continued, "...... Destroyers hold a meeting. ”

The ministers were dumbfounded: "............"

No one dared to speak up now.

What is the meaning of "a meeting of annihilators"? Is there such a person who puts a pot of on his head?

Seeing that the atmosphere had become sluggish in vain, Xiao Fan hurriedly smiled and said, "...... Don't mind, Xiaguan is just purely pursuing rhyme......"

Ministers: "............"
